Merit badges & report cards.
Twelve real badges for real skills, awarded by counselors and sent home as embroidered patches. Plus a monthly Camp Report Card for every camper.
Tap a badge to see how it's earned.
Badges come in three groups: Social badges for good camp manners, Skills badges earned with a counselor, and Adventure badges for the brave and the sleepy.
The Camp Report Card.
On the first of each month, every regular camper gets a Report Card by email: how they play, how they rest, how they listen, and what their cabin counselor has noticed. It's the closest thing to a parent-teacher conference your dog will ever have.
Report Cards also flag anything worth a conversation, like a dog who is getting tired earlier than usual or who might be ready to move up a cabin.
- Graded on Outstanding, Doing Great and Working On It
- Badges earned and badges in progress
- A handwritten note from the cabin counselor
